Garden Grill party of 2

[chloelovesdisney]

Are there tables for 2 on the lower level? We sat last time on the upper tier and I didn't care for it as much.

DW and I have sat in a booth on the lower level before. Where you sit is all just luck of the draw.

DH and I have eaten there twice and were seated at a lower level booth both times.

Is lower level the outside part that rotates?

 

[DisneyHardin]

No, all the tables rotate.

 

[Dug720]

No, all the tables rotate.

Ok.

But what is the “lower level” then?

 

[DisneyHardin]

Ok.

But what is the “lower level” then?

It’s a two-tiered restaurant. The lower level is booths and the upper level is tables.

Are you able to request the lower level? Or do they just put you wherever is convenient for them?

 

[Dug720]

It’s a two-tiered restaurant. The lower level is booths and the upper level is tables.

But which side faces out? Because I know some face out and others have no view.

 

[DisneyHardin]

But which side faces out?

The booths are horseshoe shaped, so everyone faces out.

You can request, but it may mean a longer wait. Also, if you need a high chair, you have to be on the upper tier.

Never mind. I’m apparently not asking this correctly. I’ll figure it out on my own.

Sorry, I guess I don’t understand the question. If you use Google images and search Garden Grill, there are tons of pictures of the restaurant. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

Haven't personally been there, so hopefully someone will jump in if I'm wrong, but it looks like the lower level is the outside of the circle and consists of horseshoe shaped booths, where everyone is basically facing the outside of the circle. The upper level looks like the inside of the circle, which is raised up so that you can still see, despite being inside. These seem to be tables where everyone sits sideways (and maybe even slightly skewed towards the outside of the circle) to the scenes that slowly spin by.

Does that answer your question? Trip Advisor has lots of photos that show this, if my explanation doesn't make sense. So basically, it looks like the lower level has the better views, but the upper level still lets you see everything if you just turn your head a little bit more.

Thank you! Yes, for some reason I thought the inner section was sunken, so that’s why I was confused by “upper” and “lower”. I’ve only ever seen “Inner” and “Outer” used as terms.

 

[chicagoshannon]

I too thought there was one section where you couldn't see out into the ride. So both levels are able to see into the ride, correct?

 

[AFwifelife]

It's harder to see the ride from the upper level but really, there isn't much to see.

 

[jillt2ph]

I always ask for the lower, outward facing level, even if it means a wait. It is one of the most private dining feeling places you can find in the whole World.

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Thanks everyone, I will request to sit on the bottom if possible. We couldn't really see very well at the upper/inner table.
